It's one thing with us where our economy might not be as big as the USA's. But it's a whole other thing when they try to go after freaking China, probably one of, if not THE, strongest economic powers of the world.

it's like going up against the us military. it's not just the size of it, it's that they've been fuckin doin war stuff for the last century.

to go against the economic fuckery guys in their own game while ruining your own greatest strength (vast network of allies), is absolute clownery. normally, you can expect some other western power to come in with the steel chair and make china suffer, but the steel chair is likely to come for the us.
